I respond to the story of the postal worker who stole gift cards that were sent through the mail
to friends and family (Dispatch article, April 10). My husband and I go to Florida for three months in the
winter. We have 12 grandchildren and I love to keep in touch with them by sending little gifts.

Two years ago I sent gift cards to them for a holiday. One family of four children received
three cards, while the fourth card never arrived. The next year I sent gift cards again to my
grandchildren, but two of them did not receive them.

I am glad to see that someone was caught taking the cards. This caused me to lose faith in the
U.S. Postal Service. I feel there is more of this going on and that it should be addressed.
